[edit] Breaking the Heart

All content between the initial heart and the broken heart is parsed as the heart's code.

[edit] Syntax

A broken heart is similar to a heart, but has a forward slash between the less-than and the name. If no name is supplied, the containing heart will be broken.

Note that a broken heart can be used as the result of an if statement. This can be useful. For example:

   <loop3
       //50-50 chance of terminating the loop
       <maybe3
           </loop3
       </3
       ^maybe
   </3

[edit] Example

   </name3 or </3
